Assam Police Detain Suspect in Rs 7000 Crore DB Stock Broking Scam

Assam police have detained Monalisa Das in connection with the DB Stock Broking scam, which has allegedly defrauded investors of nearly Rs 7000 crore. Das is suspected of links to Deepankar Barman, the scam’s alleged mastermind, currently in hiding in Australia. Barman’s bank accounts have been seized, but no FIRs have been filed by investors yet. The scam, which involved promises of high returns, has affected around 16,000 clients and sparked intense scrutiny of DB Stock Broking’s operations across multiple cities. The case has raised concerns over the lack of earlier financial scrutiny.
